" Girls wake up! We have a big day today!" Bella yelled
It was 5:30 am. I have been waking up at this time for years. I've gotten used to it. I gathered up my things and walked into the bathroom. This hotel wasn't the biggest hotel, compared to the ones we have stayed in. Bella said that we would be moving into a building that had rooms on one side and a recording studio in the other. I changed, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and put on my leo. I quickly walked out of the bathroom to make my bed, but it was already done. Wow guess we have our own maids now.
" Hailey! come on! Bella is in the bus waiting for us! We have to go!" Jordan shouted.
" Coming, just give me a sec!"
I took the picture frame from my bedside table and held it close to my chest. It was a picture of me and Madi and my little sister. My real sister meant the world to me and nothing could separate us. We fough like crazy but we always found a way back to each other. I put it down and ran to the elevator. Out of order. Great, let's walk down 5 flight of stairs.
" Hailey where have you been! We have been waiting for you all morning!"
" I'm sorry, the elavator was broken and I had to take the stairs."
" Stop making excuse, remember Hailey, making excuses is just destroying your dreams." Bella said.
Making excuses is just destroying your dreams. Wow, he was always known for being deep. I walked into the bus and everyone was asleep. Couldn't blame them. I decided to face time with Madi but I remembered that Bella hates phones so i would call her after practice. I put my headphones in and rested my head on my window. After a good 30 minutes in the bus we were finally there.
" Girls, wake up, we have arrived. Remember Brittney will be here and so will her team mates. I know none of you like her, especially you, Hailey."
Everyone turned to me and I just rolled my eyes because i knew punching her was worth it.
"Relax and try to get along for the next 2 weeks becuase the Olympic trials are right around the corner and we don't need any distractions. All we need is good, focused minds on what's important and not who beats Brittney."
That's all I had on my mind. Beating Brittney, and winning that gold medal. I couldn't let her win. I was broken from my thoughts when the coach yelled at us to get out and head into the gym.
" Wait girls, follow me. We are going to check out your new rooms, you will be moving in today."
We walked into the building and you could easily tell that it was a building owned my millionaires. There were marble floors and gold statues. Clear glass elavators and escalaters made of gold. I really dont know how our coach could even afford such a hotel for us. We walked towards the elavator and made our way to the rooms. I caught myself and the rest of the girls with our mouths wide open. The room had an amazing view of London. The room was also decorated with USA posters of us. We each had our own rooms. All the furniture was modern. Some walls were bright red and others white that blinded your eyes. It was something I had never seen before. We were each assigned a room. My room had it's own bathroom and a walk in closet. My bed was a modern type bed with british sheets. I thought they would give us American sheets because we were competing for USA but okay.
" Hailey! We are heading to the gym would like a ride or are you going to walk?" Jordan shouted
" I'll walk Jordan, thank you!"
I walked the short distance from the hotel to the gym. As I was walking along, I heard such loud noise coming from the other side of the building. I decided to ignore it and kept on walking. I made it to the gym in a few minutes and headed towards my locker but someone was blocking it. Brittney. Her name alone made my blood boil and my anger raise up enough for steam to blow out of my ears.
" Excuse me you're blocking my locker."
" Oh I'm sorry what would you like me to do about that?"
" Move Brittney before I punch your face in again and give you another black eye and a broken nose this time."
She quickly backed away and I opened my locker and put all my stuff in. I warmed up and headed towards bars. I chalked up my hands and feet and prepared myself to fly 10 feet in the air and hope you grab the bar on your way down. First dismount, double full stuck. Great, done with that, now 5 more routines to go.
" Practice is over, great work today, you are dismissed."
" Hey Hailey wait!"
Great, here came my best friend, Brittney.
" What Brittney?"
" Look I know we were off to a bad start and I would like to try to be friends."
Who does this girl think she is? She held out her hand for me to shake. I grabbed it and pulled her towards me and our faces were inches apart. My eyes glowing red from all the anger that was building up inside me.
" Look Brittney I don't know what game you are playing but I don't want to play. You and I both know we are never going to be friends. Don't even try."
I realized I was still squeezing her arm and I could see that her entire arm was turning red. I dropped it without breaking eye contact.
" Wow haven't you gotten smart thoughout the years Hailey."
She had an evil smirk on her face.
" Watch your back Hailey, I'm warning you."
" Brittney remember this. You may come at me hard, but always remember, no matter how hard you come at me, I will always come back 10 ten times harder than you ever will."
Without looking back, I walked away with a look on my face that could kill. Never will I let her win me.
Never.
